Sabrina Carpenter's Grammy-winning Short 'n Sweet era just got a whole lot sweeter. In time for Valentine's Day, the pop star dropped the deluxe edition of her most recent album, which includes a reimagining of "Please Please Please" with none other than Dolly Parton.

"I have a fun idea, babe, maybe just stay inside/I know you're craving some fresh air/But the ceiling fan is so nice," Parton sings on the track, before the duo take on the catchy chorus.

When Carpenter announced the elongated version of the LP, she captioned her post: "Yes that does say featuring Miss Dolly Parton…. she wouldn't want me to swear but holy shit!!!!!" When speaking to Rolling Stone last year, "Please Please Please" producer Jack Antonoff explained that there was "a Dolly feeling" on the single that he described as having "an incredibly super modern pop feeling."

The additional country twang on "Please Please Please" will excite fans of Carpenter's Emails I Can't Send deep cut "Bad for Business," which first heard the singer experimenting with a Nashville touch. ( Emails also got the deluxe, or FWD: treatment, including the hit "Feather.")

The new version of Short 'n Sweet , which won the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album earlier this month, features a reimagined cover image of Carpenter in front of an aqua-blue backdrop, and includes four additional songs: "15 Minutes," "Couldn't Make It Any Harder," "Busy Woman," and "Bad Reviews."

Carpenter previously released a digital-download edition of Short 'n Sweet that included "Busy Woman," which she wrote with Amy Allen and Antonoff "after I turned in" the original album. She also played the song during a stop on her Short 'n Sweet tour in Philadelphia last year.

The artist is set to continue her tour in Europe and the United Kingdom starting in early March with two shows in Dublin, Ireland. She's also headlining  London's Hyde Park  in July.
